A man steals an Amazon delivery van carrying about £1,000 worth of parcels and is pursued by police at high speed before the vehicle crashes. Reports say officers follow the van as it travels through parts of Greater Manchester and into Lancashire, ending at Chorley where it smashes into pedestrian barriers.
The outlets describe the driver as a 25-year-old man, though his name is not provided. The chase includes speeds reported as reaching around 100 mph. The accounts focus on the pursuit and the crash location, with the reporting centered on the incident’s timeline—from the theft to the final collision—rather than on the motive or details of any injuries.
While both sources present the same core facts, they emphasize dramatic elements such as the speed and the “terrifying” nature of the chase. Neither source provides additional information on arrests, charges, or the condition of anyone involved beyond the crash event.
